Instructions

Tips for Perfect Keto Garlic Cheese Fingers

  1. Work Quickly with the Dough
    The dough can become sticky as it cools. If needed, lightly grease your hands or the rolling pin for easier handling.
  2. Experiment with Toppings
    Feel free to add additional herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor. Red pepper flakes can give it a spicy kick.
  3. Storage Tips
    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.

FAQ

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Coconut flour can be used, but itā€™s more absorbent. Substitute 1/4 cup of coconut flour for the almond flour and adjust the texture of the dough as needed.

2. Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! This recipe is completely gluten-free and keto-friendly.

3. Can I freeze these?

Absolutely! Bake them as instructed, let them cool completely, and freeze in a single layer on a tray. Once frozen, transfer to a ziplock bag. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispy results.

4. Whatā€™s the best way to melt the cheese?

Microwaving is the easiest method, but you can also melt the cheese in a double boiler if you prefer.

5. Can I make this dairy-free?

For a dairy-free version, try using dairy-free cheese alternatives and coconut cream in place of cream cheese. Note that the texture may vary.

6. What dips go well with these?

Low-carb marinara, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli are all excellent choices!
